Incheon United uses Cong Phuong to attract spectators to the stadium |
It is clear to see the purpose of using Cong Phuong to promote and attract audiences to the stadium of this blue-black team.The reaction of fans of the Vietnamese national team striker when reading the information was: Incheon has reduced the price, but the important thing is whether Cong Phuong will play on the field?
In a recent statement, Cong Phuong admitted that he had difficulty because Incheon played long balls, but he will try his best to prove himself in the K-League whenever he has the chance.
However, in an article published yesterday morning (March 29) by Sports Hankook, reporter Kim Myung Seok couldn't help but feel worried about Cong Phuong, wondering if the striker born in 1995 could "survive" in the K-League, and then not be much different from Luong Xuan Truong...

Cong Phuong, despite facing big challenges in K-League, will overcome them to prove his ability? |
The main reason given by Myung Seok was because he saw Cong Phuong was too small and what he witnessed during Incheon United's training session on March 28.
The Korean newspaper pointed out that Cong Phuong is even more difficult than Xuan Truong, because he plays in the attack line and has to compete with the opponent's tall defenders. And they also added that Coach Andersen has to be cautious with Cong Phuong because K-League is too different from V-League - the tournament in Vietnam.
Kim Myung Seok described watching Cong Phuong practice with Incheon United as reminding him of a battle: because of his small and weak physique, there was no way he could cope... And not to mention, when he actually entered the field, the difficulties were much greater...
At 2:00 p.m. this Sunday (March 31), Cong Phuong and Incheon United will meet Suwon in round 4 of the K-League.
Previously, in round 3 of K-League, Cong Phuong played 28 minutes in the match between Incheon and Sangju and although he could not help his team escape defeat, he still received praise.
